3000 years ago!
Around 3000 years ago, the world was in the Early to Middle Bronze Age[1]. Here are some key points about this period:
- The Minoan Civilization was founded in Europe[1].
- The Indus Valley civilization developed a state society in what is now Northwest India and Pakistan[1].
- World population growth relaxed after the burst due to the Neolithic Revolution. World population was largely stable, at roughly 60 million, with a slow overall growth rate at roughly 0.03% p.a. [1].
- In Ancient Egypt, the Early Dynastic Period was followed by the Old Kingdom[1].
- In Mesopotamia, the Early Dynastic Period was followed by the Akkadian Empire[1].
- The Bronze Age began in the Ancient Near East roughly between 3000 BC and 2500 BC[1].
